ZIPEDEEDODAH is rated much lower on Turf than the all-weather but is perfectly capable on this surface, as he showed last time at Ffos Las. Joseph Tuite’s grey looks a bit better than these and can defy his big weight. Hollander looks held while Red Invader does most of his winning on Polytrack nowadays. Flowing Clarets seems best at Lingfield but has been placed twice off this mark recently and John Joiner is edging towards a winning mark so can’t be ignored.
